OFFICIAL BigDare's Build-up Thread!!!

[bigdare23]

I'm going to list the goals of the each car on it's own post.

The car


-fix my steering problem (replace rack and pinion, new wheel bearings and ball joints,...)
-repurchase a lip (since it was ripped off)
-purchase a carbon fiber hood
-refinish and install my SSR RS-8 rims
-upgrade my brakes (da knuckles and rear disc)
-repaint a few parts of my car
-wire tuck (chasebays ftw!!!)
-redo my suspension
-lastly, replace my block with a b20 block with apr rod bolts or build a high compression b16

hopefully I can be done with everything except the motor before the summer

There's the few things left for this car. I wasn't going all the way out since the wifey drives this (female drives ftl LOL) and it's an automatic.

The car


As of now it has:
-jdm headlights w/ city lights
-jdm corners
-SiR lip
-Oem foglights
-Ferio ganishes
-SiR wing (not installed yet)
-JDM rain visors
-JDM mud flaps
-exhaust
-ricer taillights (old mod from 2003)
-17in rims (old mod from 2003 also)
-it was repainted black last August

the only things left to do are
-replace the wheels with something smaller
-suspension work
-redo the exhaust with something more oem
-red and clear taillights
-install side markers

All of this will be done by the end of February!

If you don't know already, I got a hatch on the way. I purchased Uproot's mother car as a DD (since it's an automatic). I decided to shut the game down with a budget build (>$2000 including the price of the car).

The Car
pics coming soon!!!

right now I need to fix the following:
-replace the sunroof
-replace the interior (stolen sunroof ftl)
-it seems like the passenger wheel has been push back (luckly I have experience with that )
-since the motor is having problems I'm going to replace it with either a zc, d16a5 or another d15b, but what ever I do, it's going to get converted to mpfi

Just because I'm a jdm whore I'm doing the following:
-rear disc converion
-getting a zc hood
-replacing the bumpers with ef3 bumpers
-installing my mugen mr5s on it
-installing the suspension setup I currently have on the rex
-installing jdm side skirts
-installing 88-89 body molding
-paint the car and running a red strip on the molding
